and. Bourne thunders and lightens. Phelps is one great, clear, infallible argumentdemonstration itself. Jocelyn is full of heavenlymindedness, and feels and speaks and acts with a zeal according to knowledge. Follen is chaste, profound, and elaborately polished. Goodell is perceptive, analytical, expert, and solid. Child (David L.) is generously indignant, courageous, and demonstrative; his lady combines strength with beauty, argumentation with persuasiveness, greatness with humility. Birney is collected, courteous, dispassionate-his fearlessness excites admiration, his conscientiousness commands respect. Of these writers, which is acceptable to slaveholders or their apologists? Some have been cruelly treated and all been calumniated as fanatics, disorganizers, and madmen. And why? Certainly not for the phraseology which they use, but for the principles which they adopt. From another quarter came presently notes of discord, aroused by Garrison's hard language. Sundry of th

He was a man, one of the grandest America has given to the world, but still a man with his tendon of Achilles, like the rest of his kind. His narrow intolerance of the idea of anti-slavery political action, and his fierce and unjust censure of the champions of that idea, well illustrate the trait in point. Birney and Whittier, and Wright and Gerrit Smith, and Joshua Leavitt, he apparently quite forgot, were actuated by motives singularly noble, were in their way as true to their convictions as he was to his. No, there was but one right way, and in that way stood the feet of the pioneer. His way led directly, unerringly, to the land of freedom.
